Meet the Owner
Zoom Drain of Denver South is owned and operated by Eric Baliruno, a Uganda native who has spent the last 24 years living in the Denver community.
Baliruno moved to the Mile High City to pursue his accounting degree at Colorado Christian University. After earning his BSC in accounting in December 2003, he attended the University of Colorado, Denver, and attained his MBA in corporate financial management in May 2009.
Throughout the last 18 years, Baliruno has progressively gained experience in the accounting field in startup and mature organizations. As a senior team member for the previous seven years, he has a proven track record of successfully performing all accounting functions, building and leading teams, and partnering with business leadership to achieve corporate goals and objectives. Baliruno brings developed P&L management skills, an understanding of calculated risks, market needs identification, and technology acceptance and utilization to the owner/operator role. His profound knowledge of the power of brands, understanding of business development, key growth drivers, the importance of metrics and systems, and processes designed to sustain successful organizations will be incredibly integral for Zoom Drain South Denver. Additionally, Baliruno possesses leadership skills, strategic planning experience, and solid financial acumen.
Baliruno reviewed and evaluated several business opportunities before choosing Zoom Drain. “Of all franchises I was presented with, Zoom Drain immediately stood out because it checked more boxes in my criteria than the others,” says Baliruno. “I wanted to join a franchise system that is in the business of serving people, is essential to communities, is recession-proof, and is financially rewarding. A company focused on people, culture and with growth and scale potential also was a high priority to me.”
For Baliruno, Denver is the ideal city to start his business because of his deep-seated love for the community. “Denver has always been a place of warm-hearted people to me,” he maintains. “I was welcomed and accepted and have built long-term friendships here. The approximately 300 days of sunshine a year and kind winters have always been selling points. The proximity to the beautiful Rocky Mountains and the numerous local trails I run on brings me peace.”
Baliruno believes in the essentiality of drain and sewer services, which have a significant societal impact on the local community. The service also allows the company to solve needs and enrich the community. As Denver South moves forward, Baliruno plans to expand his workforce and add partners as part of his future growth and expansion strategy, which will also bring a positive benefit to the local Denver South community.

Saul and Jay were professional and courteous. They worked well together and kept me in touch with the process. Happy with their work, thanks, Mike.Mike O'Donnell
James gave me a heads-up as to when he would arrive, initially a window of time and then within 15 minutes of arrival, and that really meant a lot. He was extremely professional! He gave me the diagnosis of my non-draining kitchen sink, and went about his business for over two hours. He solved the problem. Even after bringing the huge machine in with the snake to go down the drain 50 feet, he cleaned everything up and even cleaned under my kitchen sink, which I rarely think of doing. Very very happy with James and Zoom Drain!Kat Ackerman
Shawn was amazing. Knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Price was higher than others but the value was there.Philip Weber
Very quick and professional. Fixed the issue with our ejector pump. Would definitely recommend and use them for any future plumbing needs!Cassidy Modanlou
Had issues with our kitchen sink not draining. James came out and looked at the job. After seeing an issue with the drain pipe and the configuration under the sink, he gave me an estimate and timeframe. He showed up and worked for about four hours, fixing and verifying the work was done correctly. He cleaned up the areas he was in. I was impressed with his professionalism and work ethic. His communication skills were excellent. I would recommend him and Zoom Drain for your plumbing work.Larry Frost
James & Jayden were amazing. We'll definitely use Zoom Drain again!Nick Coy
We had an issue with our kitchen sink. A different plumber came out to help us and they weren’t able to clear the line. They gave us a very expensive quote to resolve it. $10,000 Shawn from Zoom Drain came out and unclogged our kitchen line in less than two hours. He was determined to fix our problem. He was friendly and communicated everything he did while he worked with us. We’re only calling Zoom Drain from now on. They’re an honest company and will try to fix the problem affordably. The admin team is great as well, very kind. 10/10Hannah Dektor
James was professional, informative, and turned our drain situation around promptly.Liz Ralston
Can’t rate Zoom Drain and plumbers Shawn Woodward and Jayden high enough! I need more than 5 stars. I had two master plumbers out prior, and they could not find the source of my problem, which was a sewer smell in my house. Shawn and Jayden identified the issue and corrected it in an hour. Great professionals, detailed and impressive. Plus, they are great all-around people. Thanks, Zoom, and Shawn and Jayden.John Perre
They give the customer a good explanation before starting the job. This helps decide properly. Not a low-cost solution, but definitely very caring and clean while performing the job, which adds up.Ronald Peach junior
Sewer line inspection. James did a thorough job and demonstrated his expertise. Would hire again and plan to hire for sewer line repair.Milo Park
To the point and professional, troubleshooting done right and honest behavior deserves recognition. Thanks, James, for the help, and thanks to Zoom Drain for their easy-to-assist in plumbing matters.MetrallaAF
James was very professional and explained everything. From setting up the appointment to after service, everyone was honest and genuine. Thank you, again.Janae Murillo
James from Zoom did a great job. Would hire them again if needed.David Anderson
Derek was very knowledgeable and polite—he did a great job and explained everything clearly. A great plumber!Jeff Smith
Saul and Shane were awesome! They were very polite and knowledgeable. We've had a blocked bathroom sink drain for a long time. They both agreed that a simple approach would be the best way to start (and the most cost-effective) with the understanding that if that didn't work, they had other options that would require additional costs. However, they had the time to get started even though they were here just for a consult. We felt comfortable with them trying the initial solution and seeing where we would go from there. With a lot of elbow grease and great senses of humor, they were able to fix our drainage problem with their original solution – saving us lots of time and money! We are so grateful for their time and expertise. We will definitely refer them/Zoom Drain to friends and family, and will, of course, be using them again for any of our plumbing needs.Brianna Julius
